Christian McCaffrey. 27. player. 31. . Running Back. Stanford

The New York Giants spent a ton of money to upgrade the defense last offseason, and we shouldn’t worry too much about their wide receiving corps either.

But the Giants could use some help in the ground game this NFL Draft. And having a versatile tool like Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey would be a great weapon to install around veteran quarterback Eli Manning and Co.

McCaffrey can be used as a prototypical tailback. But his flexibility to double as a receiver should give Manning an additional choice while teams are busy worrying about wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
